Reviews
"Like the best futurist fiction, Peper's Analog trilogy leaves you both satisfied and unsatisfied, content with a story that ends well, but asking questions about how we can go from our current informational wild west to something democratic, something we all have a say in, that's for all of us and not solely built to generate shareholder value. These are big questions, and it's good that the final pages of Breach leave us asking them." --ZDNet "We must turn to fiction like the Analog Novels to see what the future could look like, what it could hold in store for us and what we could do to ensure it's a good one. Read Eliot Peper's Breach while it's still fiction." --FactorDaily "I'm obsessed with Emily Kim. She's this powerful, super-intelligent woman who has used her skills and her presence to grow a silent empire, only to have it all pulled out from under her. There's always so much at stake in this near-future world." -- Reviews & Robots "The Analog series from Eliot Peper is simply terrific science fiction from the (very) near future--I loved all three." --Seth Godin, bestselling author and entrepreneur "In Breach , Eliot Peper has once again accomplished the extraordinary, at once rendering our own world more searingly visible through the carefully articulated use of an imaginary future, and producing an entirely plausible fictional universe with its own logics, rules, and legends. Deeply plotted and bracingly narrated, Breach is at once a joy to read, a puzzle to consider, and a cultural mystery to solve. Peper's fiction is the medicine we need." --Eva Hagberg Fisher, critically acclaimed author of How To Be Loved "A globe-trotting, near-future thriller brimming with intrigue and big ideas." --David Brin, Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Campbell Award-winning author "Futuristic science fiction thrillers at their best. Smart, relevant, exciting, informed, intriguing." --Matt Wallace, author of The Next Fix , The Failed Cities , and the Slingers Saga "An excellent near-future exploring issues of information, sovereignty, and climate change." --Malka Older, award-winning author of Infomocracy
